In our forums, our members have been discussing Ping’s i210 irons with WRXer ‘Prov1Xercist’ considering a change to the clubs. Per ‘Prov1Xercist’:

“I’m currently in i-20s with KBS tour stiff. Looking at i210s. My typical miss is a little off the toe, and I play a draw. If anything, I would like a little more trajectory as I tend to be a lower ball player. I definitely prefer the KBS to any true temper or rifle shaft I’ve tried. I don’t know my iron swing speed, but I hit my eight iron 155.

Based on this information will I like the i210s? If so, should I stay with the KBS tour or look at other shaft options to try to get more trajectory?”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the matter in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

• hammergolf: “You should hit the i210 irons higher than i20. The i210 is a really forgiving head with high launch and slightly lower spin rate. They will definitely feel softer than your old irons also. I don’t think you cloud go wrong using the same shaft you have before, but really you should get fit to see your best option.”
• High Draws Low Fades: “I play a draw and miss off the toe with my i210s like you. Also, need some help with height in the long irons. They’ve been great for me!”
• Nessism: “Your 6 iron swing speed is likely in the mid-upper ’80s. i210’s are awesome. About as forgiving as an iron of its size can be. I think you would be safe to order some with the KBS Tour shafts. PX LZ shafts might also be worth a try since they are a no cost option and have similar weight and trajectory characteristics. They feel quite different from conventional PX shafts so don’t let the name put you off. In terms of “go get fitted” is concerned, it seems to me that your long past history of using i-series Ping’s is enough to put you in i210’s safely. Shafts are mostly about weight and feel. Some demo’s in a hitting stall so you can judge feel for yourself should provide reasonable assurance for an order.”
• Argonne69: “I’m a low ball hitter w/ low spin, and I was fit with the i200’s (Retro lofts 2 degrees weak) with TT XP95 shafts. The XP95 is a high launching shaft with high spin. I previously played KBS Tour and Nippon 950GH’s, and the TT stacks up well against them. I hit my 8 iron 155 yds (total). As noted, the i210 is a little lower launching than the i200s. Perhaps you should consider the i200s. ‘Very little difference in feel IMO. The i210s may be a tad softer.”
• Dayjobdave: “I don’t know if this helps, but when I was fitted for my i200’s my final choice on shafts was between the KBS and TT DG300s. I went with the TT because I’ve had them previously with good success, but honestly, I spent hours on the range hitting 7 irons with one of each that my pro set me up with, going back and forth, and I loved them both. I truly almost bought two sets because I couldn’t decide which I liked better. Even now a couple of years later remembering this, I’m laughing as during the test I said “this is the one” on each shaft at least a dozen times. If you like KBS shafts, I’m pretty sure you’ll love the i210’s with them.”
